Certification at Level 1 is REQUIRED for anyone refereeing assigned rugby

taking the Level 2 courses.

All sessions on 4 February will be at Loyola University, Timonium, MD (just
north of Baltimore).
The 5 February session of Referee Level 2 will be at Loyola University's
campus in Baltimore.
Directions will be provided to all registrants.

Costs:
Referee 1 ($75) + TJ 1 ($20) = $95*
Referee 2 ($100) + TJ 2/3 ($30) = $130*
*Any member of the Potomac Society of Rugby Football Referees who has
already refereed two assigned, billable games, will have their fees covered
by the Society. Anyone who referees two assigned, billable games for the
Potomac Society after taking the course(s) will have all of their course
fees and Referee and Law fees reimbursed.

The courses are sponsored by the Potomac Society of Rugby Football Referees
and are open to all CIPP'ed members of the rugby community. However, all
fees go to USA Rugby. CIPP may be paid online at www.usarugby.org. Anyone
taking the courses must also pay the Referee & Law fee of $25. The Society
pays this fee annually for all of its members. Anyone else may pay it
online at www.usarugby.org.

To register or obtain further information, contact Mark Handel,
tigg@..., 202-363-0349, IMMEDIATELY. We're sorry about getting this
announcement out late, but need to get a head count quickly. When sending
email to register, it would help if you include your CIPP number.

Anyone interested in refereeing Under-19 (high school) games in the Spring,
please contact Kevin Fraser, kevin@..., and plan on
attending a meeting in Laurel on Wednesday, 8 February, in Laurel, MD.

The Referee Level 1 Course is the basic referees course. It covers the
referee's priorities, provides an introduction to the Laws of the game,
examines scrums, rucks, mauls, tackles, line-outs, offsides and advantage
with focus on the critical aspects of the game and how to referee them. The
course does not go through the Laws page by page. That is left for the
student to do with the take home test.
